Question

Find the distance of the point (-6,8) from the origin

Answer 1

distance of the point from origin =

$\sqrt{{( - 6 - 0) }^{2} + {(8 - 0)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {6}^{2} + {8}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{36 + 64} \\ = \sqrt{100 } \\ = 10$

Answer 2

Answer:

The distance of the point (-6,8) from the origin = 10

Explanation:

________________________

We know that,

Distance of a point (x,y) from the Origin is $\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$

________________________

Now ,

here

Distance of the point (x,y)=(-6,8)

from the origin = $\sqrt{(-6)^{2}+8^{2}}$

= $\sqrt{36+64}$

= $\sqrt{100}$

= $\sqrt{10^{2}}$

= $10$

Therefore,

The distance of the point (-6,8) from the origin = 10
